Russia Has Sufficient Military Clout To Fulfil All Of Its Aims In Ukraine In Ful by SecretAgent7706: 7:07pm On Mar 14, 2022
Russia has sufficient military clout to fulfil all of its aims in Ukraine in time and in full.
LONDON, March 14 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday that Russian forces could take full control of major Ukrainian cities and it had sufficient military clout to fulfil all of its aims in Ukraine without any help from China.

The United States and its European allies have cast President Vladimir Putin's invasion as an imperial-style land grab that they say has so far been poorly executed because Moscow underestimated Ukrainian resistance and Western resolve to punish Russia.

"The defence ministry of the Russian Federation, while ensuring the maximum safety of the civilian population, does not exclude the possibility of taking major population centres under full control," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
Peskov said claims by the United States and European Union that Putin was somehow disappointed with the progress of what the Kremlin casts as a special military operation amounted to a provocation aimed at prompting Russia to storm cities.

The United States, Peskov said, had shown its complete disregard for human life with the bombing of Yugoslavia and its capital Belgrade in 1999, its wars in the Middle East and the invasion of Afghanistan.

"We don't need advice from such strategists," Peskov said. "All the plans of the Russian leadership will be achieved on time and in full."

Peskov said Putin had at the start of the operation explicitly asked the defence ministry to avoid storming major cities such as Kyiv because he thought Ukrainians units would use civilians as shields.

He said some Ukrainian cities were already surrounded by Russian forces.

When asked about remarks by U.S. officials who had said that Russia had asked China for military equipment, Peskov said: "No."

"Russia possesses its own independent potential to continue the operation. As we said, it is going according to plan and will be completed on time and in full."

US told us that Russia has the biggest army in the world, suddenly it tells us about how Russia is asking for a military assistance from China while on the other hand US and NATO fear that Russia might use hitech weapons such as ICBM, nuclear weapons and others. Yesterday they were surprised when Russia hit Ukraine just 25km from Poland territory but today they change the topic and the Ukrainians are dying and pleading for help, America says it's not Ukraine crying it's Russia. I wish Ukrainians can concentrate on negotiations and save their nation because the more resistance the more damage they invest. I also wonder about thr airstrke yesterday at the military base, with NATO air defence system installed, yet it was damaged, i wonder, i just wonder what the Rusians have that is so powerful
